Serial Butt Sniffer Can't Keep His Nose Out of Trouble
Published August 31, 2026 1:41 PM PDT
California's infamous alleged "Butt Sniffer" is back in trouble ... after cops say he was caught pulling the same bizarre stunt at two Glendale stores.
Calese Crowder -- a registered sex offender -- was arrested Friday afternoon after employees at two businesses reported a man acting suspiciously and bending down around customers, according to NBC4.
Police reviewed surveillance video from both locations and identified the 39-year-old as the suspect ... before tracking him down nearby and arresting him on suspicion of a parole violation.

Law enforcement sources told NBC4 one of the businesses was a Marshalls ... while a grocery store also called 911 around the same time to report a customer bending down behind people and allegedly trying to sniff them.
As TMZ previously reported ... Crowder's alleged sniffing antics go back years.
It all sounds oddly familiar to a viral video from 2023 ... when a woman recorded Crowder following her around a Barnes & Noble and allegedly sniffing her butt.
Crowder was then busted at a Burbank Nordstrom Rack in July 2025 after cops said surveillance video showed him following a woman through the store, crouching behind her and allegedly sniffing her butt.
Then, just a month later, he was arrested again after allegedly pulling a similar stunt on a woman inside a Burbank Walgreens.
Seems the alleged Butt Sniffer just can't keep his nose out of trouble.
